NOTE:
/3. P.
DATE: MARCH 22, 1988
SUBJECT: Council Agenda, March 24, 1988
ITEM: 13A Consider a resolution calling an election to sell
unusable parkland.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Sharon Prete
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the call for an election to sell
this property. The property is a 2.416 acre
site, south of Hwy 79, which is a portion of
the total Old Settlers Park at Palm Valley
purchase.
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
This property was not included in the Park
Master Plan because:
- it is not a suitable park site
- it is separated by Hwy 79
it is adjacent to the railroad tract
- the General Plan calls for the area to
be commercial/industrial
The revenue generated from the sale can
benefit the City. To hold and maintain
unusable property places an economic burden
on the City.
